Gekko launch single-colour focusable LED fresnel

Posted on Thursday, September 8th, 2011

Gekko’s kedo-sk is a single-colour Fresnel-focused hard source luminaire optimised for the requirements of image capture for both film and broadcast.

Available in either daylight (5600K) or tungsten (3200K) variants, kedo-sk produces minimal heat and is designed to work in an ambient temperature of up to 50° Celsius.
Output intensity is claimed to be comparable with a 1kW tungsten source. Low power consumption (180W) keeps heat generation to a minimum. An integral Fresnel-based optic provides a focal range of 6:1. Intensity can be controlled on the lamp itself or via DMX.

“The everyday reality of production for television and film crews is a requirement for a single colour white light to illuminate the subject”, comments David Amphlett, Gekko Technology’s founder and Managing Director. “Combining controllable focus and high-quality single colour output in an LED based lamp, the kedo-sk delivers the benefits of resource-friendly technology but in a format which the film and TV world is familiar with.”
